GBP/USD Intraday Technical analysis 2011-08-16
The spot rate is currently testing the upper limit of its medium term bearish channel in 1.6420 and seems to start a decline. However a break of these levels would initiate a bullish trend more violent.
According to previous events, the market indicates a bullish opportunity as soon as the spot rate will have broken its resistance in 1.6420 with a 1st objective of 1.6540, then 1.6580. A break in 1.6390 would invalidate this scenario.

Technical analysis and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for August 11, 2011
Overview:
Forex market analysis for August 11 shows that at the moment downtrend still remains and there are frequent rollbacks and corrections. The downtrend is moving to side movement. It is not recommended to trade this pair now. The buy signal is confirmed and weak, since the Chinkou Span fixated over the price graph and the price is below the Ichimoku cloud. At the moment the first target is 1.4660– the second support level. Upside movement remains while the price is below the Kijun-sen (1.4240), if the price fixates below this line it is recommended to cut long positions. The Chinkou Span is above the price graph, which confirms the current buy signal and indicates bullish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show side movement, which prevents us from bullish trading. Yet due to high volatility and frequent corrections trading is not recommended in general.
Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to wait until the market stabilizes. Trading is dangerous now as losses are rather likely to occur.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
The chart annotation:
Ichimoku indicator:
Tenkan-sen — red line
Kijun-Sen — blue line
Senkou Span A — light brown stipple line
Senkou Span B — light purple stipple line

JPY-Crosses: Preparing for a Yen Intervention
Now that the USD/JPY is trading below its exchange rate prior to the August 4 Ministry of Finance intervention, as investors continue to favor the Yen as a safe haven amid the deepening European sovereign debt crisis, another intervention is likely on the horizon in order to combat haven flows.
Considering not only recent commentary by Japanese government officials stating that they are “watching the currency markets” carefully, but also the fact that yesterday, the Federal Reserve decided to leave rates low for an extended period, until “mid-2013,” further pressure is likely on the USD/JPY over the medium-term, essentially forcing one of the two Japanese governmental institutions to step in order to stem the Yen’s rally across the major currencies. It should be noted that Yen-crosses could depreciate further before an intervention, as the USD/JPY has been intervened at decreasing exchange rates upon each occurrence.
Please note that the trade recommendations contained here within are advised only under the pretext of an intervention to weaken the Yen, as broader macroeconomic trends are dictating further market uncertainty and thus capital flows into the safe haven currencies in the near-term, and any appreciation of currencies against the Yen, in the author’s opinion, are likely to be short-lived.
USD/JPY Hourly: August 2 to August 10
The above chart, an updated hourly snapshot of the USD/JPY, details the finer aspects of the intervention move by the Ministry of Finance. The Fibonacci retracements, from the low ahead of the Asian session open at 76.919, to the post-intervention high at 80.230, show that over 100.0 percent of the move following the currency manipulation has been retraced. The USD/JPY, despite some fluctuations on very short timeframes, has depreciated nearly linearly since peaking at 80.230, falling as low as 76.344, just above the all-time low set on August 1, at 76.283. In light of the recent price action, the suggested strategy on how to position trades on a possible intervention has been update, now that the USD/JPY has since retraced the entire intervention rally.
Suggested Strategy
- Long: Place an entry at 77.700 [76.4 Fibo]
- Stop: Set the stop to 76.919 [100.0 Fibo, 78-pip risk]
- Target 1 (Risk/Reward Ratio): 78.575 [38.2 Fibo] (86/78, 1.12)
- Target 2: 79.449 [23.6 Fibo] (175/78, 2.24)
- Target 3: 80.230 [0.00 Fibo] (253/78, 3.24)
- Timeframe: 12-hours following intervention
- AUD/JPY Hourly: August 2 to August 10
- The above chart details the AUD/JPY moves over the past week following the intervention. The pair easily retraced the Ministry’s manipulation, trading back to the pre-intervention level within just over 12-hours. The AUD/JPY should be watched carefully in light of an intervention, as it represents the most significant carry trade among the major currencies currently, and thus presents the greatest opportunity to the upside should market conditions allow for further appreciation. On the other hand, diminished rate hike expectations have weighed on the Australian Dollar in August, as it is the worst performing currency over said timeframe, and therefore gains are likely limited.Suggested Strategy
- Long: Place an entry at 79.811 [38.2 Fibo]
- Stop: Set the stop to 79.311 [50-pip risk]
- Target 1 (Risk/Reward Ratio): 80.830 [50.0 Fibo] (102/50, 2.04)
- Target 2: 81.848 [61.8 Fibo] (204/50, 4.08)
- Timeframe: 12-hours following intervention
- GBP/JPY Hourly: August 2 to August 10
- An interesting currency to trade against the Yen, in my opinion, is the GBP/JPY. The pair had one of the more exaggerated responses to the intervention on August 4, rallying over 400-pips on the move – the AUD/JPY and USD/JPY only rallied approximately 300-pips each. As such, considering that the Sterling has been the strongest non-safe haven currency today, it has momentum in its favor, certainly something that can be exploited for now should an intervention occur.Suggested Strategy
- Long: Place an entry at 125.071 [23.6 Fibo]
- Stop: Set the stop to 124.571 [50-pip risk]
- Target 1 (Risk/Reward Ratio): 126.170 [38.2 Fibo] (110/50, 2.20)
- Target 2: 127.058 [23.6 Fibo] (199/50, 3.98)
- Target 3: 127.946 [0.00 Fibo] (288/50, 5.76)
- Timeframe: 12-hours following intervention

EUR/USD Fundamental situation review August 9, 2011
Despite the intervention of the European Central Bank on Monday to buy the bonds, including Italy, Spain, equaling about 4.5 billions according to some economic reports.
Now the market is concerned more about the fears of Europe's crisis rather than the United States news.
The main event which controls the market since the weekly opening and so far was the fear about the severe debt crisis in the region of Europe also the rumors about the possibility of reducing the credit rating of Britain and France.
This applied pressure on the euro and and managed to pull the prices from the High"1.4420" to Yesterday's low "1.4129 "
This remains in place until the pressure is now
On the other hand, there's an important event today which is the decision of U.S. interest which is expected not to be changed, and the eyes are turned to the statement accompanying the decision by the U.S. Federal and any change in tone during talking or any reference to the QE III?
Generally the majority of the public analysts exclude having any updates about it today.
Scenarios were limited to one of these 3 ones:
First
Tone is worried but without reference to quantitative easing, If this happens, it is expected for the USD to rise against all currencies except Franc and Yen.
II
Tone is worried with reference to the quantitative easing and this may cause decline of USD against other currencies.
III
Optimistic tone, without any indication of the quantitative easing, although this is ruled out a little.
But that will cause the dollar to rise very strongly.

GBP/JPY Elliott wave count and Fibonacci levels for August 4, 2011
GBP/JPY has developed the wave from 135.11 to 124.16 and is now moving in a corrective wave against this movement. Current wave A of long term uptrend (colored light green in the chart) now has A, B and C subwaves, with subwave C still developing from 125.29 (colored red in the chart).
The immediate resistances are Fibonacci retracements of 139.94-124.16, 135.11-124.16, and expansions off 124.16-126.96-125.29.
Resistances:
- 129.63-82 = confluence area of .50 retracement and expanded objective point (XOP), already reached (!)
- 130.19 = .382 ret
- 130.93 = .618 ret
If the price reverses to the downside the immediate supports will be Fibonacci retracements of the wave up from 125.29 - this wave is not developed yet, so no supports are available so far.
Overbought/Oversold
Assuming that the medium term trend is now up it's preferable to try long positions when the Detrended Oscillator gets below the zero level (120-130 pips below the current prices) or into the oversold area (170-200 pips below the current prices).

USD/JPY Intraday Technical analysis 2011-08-03
According to previous events, the market indicates a bullish opportunity as soon as the spot rate will have broken its resistance in 77.80 with a 1st objective of 78.50, then 78.80. A break in 77.60 would invalidate this scenario.

EUR/GBP Supply & Demand Analysis August 2, 2011
Area 0.8850-0.8880 provided a good supply zone which prevented further upside movement.
Now the pair is testing the demand zone 0.8720 - 0.8700, with its break it will target 0.8610 as the next obvious demand area.
If the current demand area limited the decline, this would bring the pair back to the supply area 0.8850-0.8880.

GOLD Technical Correction, July 29, 2011 (Daily Strategy)
The price of gold is once again at an all time high after it succeeded in jumping over the significant resistance level of 1600 dollars at the beginning of the week. the negative deviation has been created in the MACD indicator which suggests that a steep fall in the price of gold can be expected in the immediate future.
A daily closure, once again beneath the resistance and test level of 1600, will confirm the potential trend reversal and the move to a wave of price drops, Just a short correction can be expected to lower the price of gold in the direction of the support level at 1550 dollars.

EUR/USD Intraday Technical Analysis July 28, 2011
This resistance area is 61.8% Fibonatcci Level and previous top.
Now we have a support area 1.4320- 1.4300 important for the bulls to defend and need not to have daily closure below it.
Break of this support opens the way for the pair to visit 1.4200-1.4170.
Break of 1.4570 opens the way to visit the next bullish target at 1.4700.
This area is a previous congestion zone, uptrend line ( lower limit of a bullish channel ).
So this area is important to defend in order to keep the bullish view for the pair, otherwise the pair will have a clear way down to 1.4230 then 1.4170.
So it's a good area to buy the pair at with TP at 1.4450 then 1.4570.
SL should be 4H closure outside the bullish channel marked above.

The EUR/USD technical analysis and trading recommendations for July 25, 2011
4-hour timeframe

Overview:Forex market analysis for July 25 shows that at the moment the currency is still observing a buy signal, the signal is strong, therefore we should consider long positions. The formed buy signal is strong and confirmed, since the Chinkou Span fixated above the price graph and the price is above the Ichimoku cloud. At the moment the first target is 1.4525 – the first resistance level. If this level is passed the second target will be the second resistance level at 1.4692. Upside movement remains while the price is above the Kijun-sen (1.4250), if the price fixates below this line it is recommended to cut long positions. The Chinkou Span is above the price graph, which confirms the current buy signal and indicates bullish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show continuing upside movement, the lines are diverging and directed up. The MACD is descending, which indicates current correction movement, this filter does not allow us to trade up now, but we can resume trading after the MACD reverses up.
Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to trade up with target at 1.4525 and further to 1.4692. Stop Loss should be placed below 1.4250 and stretched down as the Kijun-sen declines. It is recommended to open long positions after the MACD reverses up.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.

The AUD has reached the above mentioned levels, however we did not see the expected growth. At the moment the pair is correcting above the 1.0585 level. A double bottom was formed; therefore we should not eliminate the possibility of Friday’s supply levels to be tested. In case of a decline we should expect the 1.0585 level to be passed.
Trading recommendations:
-sell from the supply levels

Now we have potential impulse wave C developing from 130.82. Within this wave there are A and B subwaves - colored orange red.
Now the targets of the downmove are Fibonacci retracements of 128.40-130.82, and expansions off 139.93-130.26-135.11, 135.11-129.74-132.30, 132.30-128.19-130.82, 130.82-128.95-129.63.
Supports:
- 128.47 = contracted objective point (COP)
- 128.28 = COP
- 127.76 = objective point (OP)
- 126.93 = OP
- 126.71 = OP
- 126.60 = expanded objective point (XOP)
If the price reverses to the upside the immediate resistances will be Fibonacci retracements of 130.82-128.95.
Resistances:
- 129.66 = .382 retracement
- 129.88 = .50 ret
- 130.11 = .618 ret

Overbought/Oversold
Assuming that the medium term trend is down it's preferable to try short positions when the Detrended Oscillator gets above the zero level (20-25 pips above the current prices) or into the overbought area (55-70 pips above the current prices).

GBP/USD candlestick analysis for June 24, 2011
Earlier in a 4-hour graph the GBP/USD has formed Morning Doji Star candlestick combination indicating bullish signal.
This candlestick combination was formed after the pair failed to break the support level 1.5932 which means that the bears could not solidify here. Further the bulls started to increase their influence and a rebound to the upside took place.
Break of the Fibonacci correction level 23.6 will denote that this point of view is correct. In this case we should expect growth to the resistance level 1.6262 where the Fibonacci correction level 50.0 is also located. If the pair fixates above 1.6262, this will target it to 1.6472.
It is worth mentioning that stop loss should be placed slightly below 1.5932 as a break of this support level will allow the pair to reach 1.5750.

EUR/JPY Two possible scenarios and trade opportunity June 9, 2011
EUR/JPY currency pair has been consolidating inside bullish channel since 23 May .
As we follow the price action towards the upper limit of red channel we see strong rejection of the level 117.70 which has proved itself as a strong resistance level till now .
Also we notice that the price started to make lower lows and lower highs indicating weakness of the upside direction .
Based on the previous analysis :
4H candlestick closure below the lower limit of the channel (BLUE ONE) gives the signal to go SHORT with target at 115.05
4h candlestick closure above the upper limit of the channel ( RED ONE ) gives the signal to go LONG which isn't recommended as we see .
SL for both positions is the achievement of the opposite one .

Thus, at the moment the first target for the downside movement is 1.4021 – the first support level. If this level is passed the second target will be the second support level at 1.3885. Downside movement remains while the price is below the Kijun-sen (1.4160), if the price fixates above this line it is recommended to cut short positions. The Chinkou Span is below the price graph, which confirms the current sell signal and indicates bearish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show downside movement, the lines are diverging and directed down. The MACD is ascending, thus indicating current correction movement, if it reverses down this will denote the end of the correction movement.
Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to trade down with target at 1.4021 and further to 1.3885. Stop Loss should be placed above 1.4160 and stretched as the Kijun-sen declines. Short positions should only be opened after the MACD reverses down.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.

USD/CHF wave analysis for May 23, 2011
Despite differently directed Friday’s trading, the USD/CHF currency pair managed to end forming the estimated b wave of the current correction structure and observe the 50,0% correction target level after a reverse. At the same time, the decline to 0.8750 at the moment looks like the beginning of the wave of this correction. If so, the indicated downside movement can develop in the direction of the next possible target located near the 87 figure level.

EUR/USD wave analysis for May 19, 2011
During yesterday’s trading the EUR/USD could not define further direction. At the same time, the price is still within the wave structure that at the moment can be characterized as another series of abc correction waves. Thus, current situation allows both resumption of downside movement in the range of the future 5th wave in the estimated 3rd (or C), and possible development of a new uptrend section.

USD Rallies On FOMC Minutes, Dollar Index To Maintain Trend
The U.S. dollar pared the overnight decline, with the Dow Jones-FXCM index bouncing back from a low of 9604.27, and the rebound may gather pace going into the end of the week as the Federal Reserve changes its tone for monetary policy. The index is 0.21% higher on the day after moving 94% of its average true range, and the gauge looks poised to test 9750.00 over the coming days as it continues to trade within an upward trending channel. However, as the relative strengthen index approaches oversold territory, there is likely to be a small pull back before we see the dollar index continue to retrace the decline from the previous month.
The majority of the FOMC said they favored raising the benchmark interest rate before unwinding its asset purchases, with the group debatinga possible exit strategy at the policy meeting earlier this month. However, the Fed went onto say that the recent discussion should not be interpreted as an imminent tightening in monetary policy as the committee continues to see a “moderate” recovery in the world’s largest economy. The minutes revealed that QE3 remains off the table unless there’s a marked shift in the economic outlook, and noted that the first step to normalizing monetary policy would be to cease MBS reinvestment. In terms of growth and inflation, the central bank argued that the rise in price growth is likely to be transitory, while policy makers expect unemployment to gradually decline given the ongoing weakness within the private sector. The comments suggest that the FOMC will continue to support the real economy as QE2 expires in June, and the committee may preserve a wait-and-see approach in the third-quarter to encourage a sustainable recovery.
All four components weakened on Wednesday, led by a 0.65% decline in the British Pound, and the sterling may continue to underperform against its major counterparts as the Bank of England maintains a cautious outlook for the U.K. In light of the recent developments, the GBP/USD certainly remains at risk of facing additional headwinds over the near-term, and the exchange rate looks poised to fall back towards former resistance around 1.6000 as it searches for support. However, as price growth in Britain accelerates, the heightening risk for inflation could fuel bets for a rate hike later this year, and interest rate expectations should help to prop up the sterling as market participants weigh the prospects for future policy. According to Credit Suisse overnight index swaps, investors see borrowing costs in Britain increasing by nearly 50bp over the next 12-months, and interest rate expectations may gather pace in the second-half of the year should the BoE toughen its stance against inflation.
